Hello All,
I have NOVA, ver 2.1v and I want to run it on MS VISTA. Is NOVA, ver
2.1v
compatable with MS VISTA? I upgraded my old installaton to 2.2b.

Does anyone know of a fairly reasonably priced CAT controllable (read
doppler) 2m rig? Ham radio deluxe or other?
Also, maybe I am misunderstanding how it would work, thus the post to
AMSAT-bb.
I want to auto correct the doppler on a rig connected to my CalAMP
130016 which puts 2401.016 at 123.000mhz.
Can I find an all-mode radio that will work with CAT control? The rotor
is already controlled by Nova and a Unitrac unit.

******************************************************************

KB8ZGL de S.I.,
Mike,
Uni_Trac will "tune" your 2M radio making it look like a 2400 MHz
radio.
There is provision in Uni_trac to allow for the "off-set" frequency, the
down-converter's LO, which you have to manually enter in Uni_Trac's set up
screen. Doppler tracking will be accurate.
Uni_Trac will also handle your UP-link Doppler (and steer your antennae)
simultaneously thus giving you full Doppler control of a QSO.
You will need a radio that tunes to 123 MHz. Many 2M radios do not cover
this frequency range. An alternative is to use a simple VHF down-converter
from 123 Mhz to a HF radio. Converting the 2m spectrum to 10 Metres was a
popular technique used many years ago before "Japan Inc" invaded the
Amateur market with their 2m radios. Pick up an old 2m/10M converter and
change the LO crystal, and retune the RF for 123 MHz input.
Then use your HF radio to receive 2400 MHz with Uni_Trac compensating
for
Doppler by tuning your HF radio!
The converter can have "minimal performance". Your system sensitivity
will
be set by the
130016. Keep the system gain low; just enough to avoid degrading the
overall noise figure.
Contact me off-list if you need additional help.

Hi all,
Now that I finally have SatPC32 working with my 817, I'm having a new issue
with Doppler tuning on the SSB birds. I tune around the passband until I can
hear a station clearly. When there's a break, I transmit my call. The other
station will hear me, but by the time the reply comes, I can no longer hear
them clearly. It's almost as if the automatic Doppler tuning either can't
keep up with or goes too fast to stay locked onto the correct frequency. I
know its not the other station's frequency adjustment because this happens
when there's a QSL already happening and they seem to be Doppler shifting at
the same rate.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Tim

Looking at the Japanese section of the website it seems that the beacon will
be 15w on 5.8 Ghz (I may be wrong about this because hese are the nly non-
Japanese characters).
I wonder what the qrm might be from this system on 5.9 GHz? This is an
experimental road-tolling system outside Denver Colorado.

Hi Tim,

When the other station answers and you don't hear his signal clearly don't
tune the radio with the VFO but use the "Downl.-Corr." controls in menu
"CAT" to correct your RX frequency until you hear the signal clearly again.
That will leave your uplink frequency unchanged. You also may use the keys
2/8 and 3/9 of the numerical block of the keyboard to correct your downlink
frequency in steps of +/- 10 or +/- 100 Hz. I added these controls to menu
CAT particularly for the use with semi duplex radios (to fix the problem
that you can't correct your uplink frequency because you can't hear your own
signal).
The reason of your problem will be the following:
When you first answer the other station you will probably not transmit on
the exact uplink frequency - that means on the frequency on which the other
station is listening (and on which - with a satellite radio - he will hear
his own downlink signal). So, he will tune his radio until he hears your
signal with the right audio. If he works with full Doppler correction
changing the downlink will also change his uplink frequency. So, you will
no longer hear his signal clearly.
The frequency values in Doppler.SQF that come with SatPC32 can't be exactly
precise for all radios, due to - i.e.- hardware depending deviations between
the radios up to a few KHz. Therefore these values should first be
calibrated (typically only once) for the particular radio. That can easily
be done if you can receive your own signal. With semi duplex radios it can
be done with the help of another station. For detailed hints regarding this
issue with semi duplex radios read the "Hints[CAT]" for "Yaesu users" sect.
IV. 3. f and g. You can open the file from the SatPC32 menu "?".

Hi Andy,
The Google Language translation also came up with text that said 15 watts on
5.8 Ghz.
I found this paper regarding orbits

Same here. Nothing heard on the ISS pass.
I know there's a scheduled contact in a few days, but too early for this I
would think?
I'm sure there's a good reason.
Will just wait a few days and find out.
I'm always grateful for the times when it does work.
I still miss a good HEO like OSCAR 13 !!!

Sebastian makes a great point, and the other side of the coin is LOTW
contains all the information needed for Satellite VUCC. One would hope it

If you are chasing VUCC - LoTW currently is not configured for VUCC.
I still upload those logs however, in hope that if they ever do
configure it for VUCC, my data is there.

Hello Mineo,
I hope all goes well with the launch; these are certainly interesting
satellites. Since many of the webpages are in Japanese only, do you know if
there are any two way packages that might eventually be made available to
amateurs worldwide?
I noticed the CW beacons are mostly clustered within 190khz of each other.
That is fortunate, and I'd like to think by design? I intend to record some
of the initial passes via my SDR-IQ, which may be helpful in sorting out the
initial keplerian elements based on Doppler shift.
73 and good luck to JAXA,

Hello Mineo,
I would also like to add my good wishes for the launch of these cube sats.
Also thanks for the valuable work
associated with their contributions to research .
I wonder if any associated software will be available that might prove of
interest on general basis.
Looking forward toward the addition of these satellites and another good
start to the year.
Best Regards to all.

Not too long ago some of us listened to the KAGUYA (Selene) satellite
orbiting the moon. I have not seen any reference to that satellite in a
long time. Is there a site where the people chasing this satellite hang
out?
If you chase the bottom reference in Mineo's note you see that the Japanese
are doing some very interesting work.

Each satellite team has nice web site. Some of them are in English.
Please refre to the URLs.
The satellites are not CubeSat. Size is bigger than CubeSat and platform
is unique.
The estimated orbit is
orbit: Sun synchronous
altitude: 660km
inclination: 98.1deg
period: 98min
I'v not seen keps elements yet.

This will rapidly go off-topic, but...
I don't think it matters much at all (5.8 to 5.9 is a significant
frequency change at 5 GHz), but that system will generally be
decommissioned soon.
The E-470 toll road will be switching to using nothing but video cameras
to photograph license plates for their billing in July of 2009.
The RF system won't be in use after that, AFAIK.
